WASTE OF MONEY!!!! DO NOT BUY!

RYDER in ID – Machine this part was bought for: 2014 YAMAHA YFZ450R

Comments On Apr 27, 2015:My buddy and I both bought this skid plate for our YFZ450Rs and I bent mine into my rotor on the first ride. Shortly after my buddy's also bent just as easily. Not just the sides, the whole thing bent. I've seen scoops of ice cream stand up to more abuse. Four big thumbs down to PRO ARMOR on this product. Needless to say I won't be purchasing any more of their products. Also like some of the other reviews have stated, it does have a significant loss in ground clearance. I feel more comfortable with the stock, plastic skid plate, and that is no lie!
Hope this makes a statement!

Justin in PA – Machine this part was bought for: 2013 HONDA TRX 400X

Comments On Feb 25, 2015:This product is great and high quality the only complaint i had was the one screw hole wasn't drilled the right dimension. Regardless it was an easy fix with a drill. If you want to protect your swing arm and chain this is the product you need!

Comments On Dec 10, 2014:While it definitely protected my swingarm,sprocket,linckage, and rotor. If you ride woods it catches on everything. Next time ill get armor without the linckage armor portion.

good but needs work.

Mykyl in AZ – Machine this part was bought for: 2006 YAMAHA YFZ 450

Comments On Oct 30, 2014:This is a good looking piece and I was very satisfied when I opened it up and checked it out. But when I went to install it I had to drill out the 2 front spacers because the spacers were welded to close together and I couldn't fit all of the bolts in. It also had barely any ground clearance about 4 or so inches from the ground to the lowest point. I was lucky and have a shop this would be a huge problem for someone who doesn't. Next time I'll just save my money and build my own. Or plan on hacking this one up to make it right.

Super strong, not as much ground clearance as exp.

JEROME in QC

Comments On Apr 17, 2013:super strong, well made, fit 100% perfectly.
Ground clearance is not as good as expected... I am XC racer and I tought that this was the solution for my kfx434, but I have a 3/4'' space between the skid and the chain/rotor that is ''loose''. I took a look to cut the spacer of the skid to make it closer, but not possible due to swing arm bolt that will took skid anyway. between the 2 ''waves'' for chain and rotor, space in maximised. On the other side, you can be 100% sure to not bent your rotor or chain, even if you bent the skid... and by the way it is designed, no chance to have a rock stick between the chain and skid, because clearance in lower at the entrence of chain than under the sprcoket... hope that help!

Pro Armor is Poor Armor

SHANE in SC

Comments On Dec 25, 2007:The first day I rode with this swingarm skid installed, it bent more and more throughout the day on slow trails in first and second gear. I installed a armidillo skid and I have returned to the same trail multiple times and it hasn't failed in over a year. Pro Armor is Poor Armor in my book.Additional Comments On Jun 19, 2011:It is now June 19, 2011 and I still have the same armadillo skid plate on the quad with no bends or breaks and I have been giving it the same punishment. I must say spend less money on a better product. I remember I called pro armor to get them to replace it or give my money back and they said "from the pictures it looks like it did it's job". Alot of money wasted with that company.

Heavy Duty

Duane in OR

Comments On Dec 05, 2010:Great product. Very heavy duty. Adds some weight over the stock plastic one. You also give up an inch in ground clearance in the rear. Sits very low. Should be brought up a little. There's a lot of room between the bottom of the sprocket and the skid plate. Good for running a larger rear sprocket. Bad for getting high centered.

ok swingarm guard

JEFF in KY

Comments On Jun 28, 2009:Seems to be built tough. After first long trip with it, it was vibrating loos and bent in several spots. Bolts didn't come loose (snug as when I torqued them) but for some reason, the plate is no longer tight on there. Will need to add some thin washers. I'll probably try a different brand next time, this one was too expensive to have that many problems on it's first use.

2007 YFZ450 Pro Armor Swing Arm Armor

Nathan in TX

Comments On May 27, 2009:Positives: Strong, well constructed, bolt hole alignment perfect, great styling, light weight.
Negatives: design could be improved, no chain guide, front of chain guard catches badly on rocks.
The front leading edge of the lower chain guard is blunt cut and terminates low in relation to the swingarm. It catches badly on rough terrain, stopping the ATV dead in it's tracks and often sends the rider over the bars. This area also scoops up rocks and limbs which can and have forced the chain loose from the rear sprocket on numerous occasions. Other manufactures have extended the length of the lower chain guard so that it terminates at a point higher up in relation to the swingarm and have tapered the edge upward so as to prevent it from catching on or scooping up debri.
Also, there is no chain guide. This allows the chain to roll off the sprocket when debri is scopped up and lodged between the chain and swingarm. I would not reccomend this product to anyone riding cross country terrain, and use of a swingarm guard is unnecessary in MX so I'm not sure I'd reccomend this product at all. Hunt for another manufacturer with a more intuitive design on the chain side of the piece.

Michael in UT

Comments On May 07, 2009:This guard fit perfectly on my 400EX and is pretty sturdy as well. Easy to install and if you happen to hit a huge rock and bend it a little, it's not too hard to bend back into shape. When I did this, it did not seem to weaken it any. Worth every penny!

THE BEST.

Alan in WA

Comments On Feb 28, 2009:The average quad and rider together are around 575 lbs, smash that into a rock at 35 to 45 mph. What do you want? nothing lasts forever taking a beating like that I dont care who made it. All you can ask for is the best that they can make for a price we all can afford and ProArmor is the best out there from fit to finish. I have used other brands over the years and I'm proud to say I have ProArmor protecting my quads because I don't slow down for no rock now that I'm using ProArmor. But you don't have to take my word for it you can find out the hard way.

pro armor swingarm skids

JORDAN in CT

Comments On Jul 09, 2008:easy instalation. only thing I dont like so far is that the bolt heads aren't protected. on the stock skid plate they were in somewhat of a hole. so I'm worried that I'll hit a rock with the bolt and it will snap off.
I also don't like the noise it makes when you hit a rock, but that will come with any aluminum skid plate. it will just take some getting used to.

Not as good as I hoped

LARRY in CA

Comments On Jan 11, 2008:I bought this for my LT-R450 Suzuki.
It installs fine, except the stock chain guard/coupler has to be removed first, and it won't go back on when you're done. So basically your chain is loose, and drags on the armor. They need to re-think this piece of armor. I will put back the stock items and try another brand.Additional Comments On Feb 29, 2008:Tightening the chain helped with the loose chain issues, however you still can't use the original chain guide with the armor.

Strong and Durable

GARY in CA

Comments On Nov 22, 2007:I have this on three quads and it works great for protection. As for bending as recent reviews have suggested...I haven't seen a skid plate protector yet that won't bend when you hit a rock hard. If it doesn't bend then something else will give..mounting brackets or cracking of the plate itself. Think about it... the plate is designed to take the impact and give. Worth the price.

Pro Armor Swing Arm Guard

SCOTT in WA

Comments On Nov 07, 2007:Don't waste the extra money for the familiar name, read the Armadillo reviews and you will see why. I have had this for just over 1 year I spend more time bending it back into place than riding and it doesn't ever go back the same. If I would have had access to the reviews last year I wouldn't have bought the thing, sounds like the armadillo is the way to go because this thing isn't worth it on my 300ex.

DAVID in CA

Comments On Oct 29, 2007:Purchased for a YFZ450. After receiving the skid pan I was happy with the looks and the workmanship. After putting the skid pan on my bike I was not happy. The sides of the skid pan, after three rides, have bent up into my rotor and my chain and sprocket. I think there should have been a little more engenering on this item before they put it out on the market.

Comments On Oct 22, 2007:Fits perfect and the hook for a tow strap is really cool. I have taken a few hits already and it is holding up to the abuse. The only thing that is keeping me from giving the product a 5/5 is that Pro Armor stuck the bolts to it with clear tape, which was a complete pain to remove. Also, the edges are a little sharp requiring a quick touch up with a file.

CHAD in OR

Comments On Oct 22, 2007:This skid plate has bent and basically shredded over the course of a year. It hasn't even really taken any hard hits, just dragging over rocks, etc...
It does its job, but has bent up and rubbed the chain and also the rear brake rotor...
What I do like about it is the towing point at the back of the skid. I've used that to drag buddies back to camp and to tie the quad down in my trailer.
